Big Trouble in Little China Action Figures by ReAction

I'm telling you, ReAction is quickly dominating the market when it comes to badass retro action figures. With an endless plethora of choices from any number of pop culture films, shows and characters from the 70's and 80's, ReAction by Funko is seriously becoming one of my favorite brands of collectible figures. Nothing drives that point home more than the recent news that they will be tackling John Carpenter's ahead-of-it's-time insane kung fu/fantasy/action/comedy masterpiece Big Trouble in Little China.

We all know the story right? Upon it's initial release it was deemed too strange and ultimately failed to ignite the box office, resulting in a big ol' flop. It's since become a certified cult classic in every sense of the word, and deservedly so. If any film was ahead of it's time, BTiLC certainly qualifies.

ReAction by Funko will be releasing these in February, and you can pre-order these from any number of online places. Of course, you can also find these practically everywhere now too like Target, Barnes & Nobles, Toys R Us and so on, so I think it'll be more fun going on a hunt and tracking them all down individually rather than just ordering them online.

Funko will also be releasing these in the ever popular POP! vinyl figure format, so if you like those particular figures, be on the look out for those as well.

Special thanks to my buddy Rob over at Action Figure Informer for the heads up!
